In this guide, we’ll show you how to retrieve your Zyxel mobileconfig file and how to import it into VPN Tracker for faster VPN setup on your Mac, ready to securely share with your team.
Why Use a MobileConfig File for Zyxel?
- Save time: Avoid manually entering gateway addresses, pre-shared keys, and VPN parameters.
- Reduce errors: Prevent typos and misconfigurations when setting up connections manually.
- Prepare for teams: Easily distribute consistent VPN connections across multiple users.
- Support migrations: Ideal for organizations moving from device-based VPN profiles to centralized VPN management.
How to Retrieve Your Zyxel MobileConfig File
On a Zyxel firewall (in this example the USG Flex 200H), VPN profiles can be exported as mobileconfig files to simplify VPN setup on macOS and iOS devices.
Open the device interface for your Zyxel USG Flex 200H to retrieve the mobileconfig file
To locate the option in the web interface:
- Log in to your Zyxel device (USG Flex 200H) via the web interface
- Navigate to VPN → IPSec VPN → Remote Access VPN → General Settings
- Ensure the VPN is enabled
- Click the VPN Configuration Script Download button to export the configuration for Apple/macOS client
- Save the downloaded .mobileconfig file securely on your Mac to use in the VPN client
Location of the VPN Configuration Script Download option (USG Flex 200H live demo):
Tip: On other Zyxel devices (USG, ATP, Nebula), the download option may appear in slightly different menus under VPN → IPSec VPN → Remote Access VPN. The general workflow is the same.

- Go to File → Import from file → Apple Configuration Profile.
